The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 836: Chapter 836: Fighting for a Chance to Prove Shangguan Xuanjie

”What are you two here for?” Shangguan Sichen asked with a displeased face.

”We just hope you can give us a chance to prove our abilities, Grandpa,” Shangguan Xuanjie said.

Shangguan Wenchuan chimed in, ”Yes, we just hope to get a chance to compete with Su Changfeng. We hope you can give us this opportunity, Grandpa.”

Shangguan Sichen looked at Shangguan Xuanjie and Shangguan Wenchuan with disdain. Although these two were his flesh and blood, at this moment, their status in Shangguan Sichen’s heart was obviously not even a millionth of Su Changfeng’s.

It’s kind of funny that this situation has arisen. During Su Changfeng’s time at the Ye Family from Beijing, he was considered a coward by Shangguan Feihong, who even deliberately ostracized him and often caused him trouble.

However, since arriving at the Shangguan Family, Su Changfeng has been so valued by the Family Head, Shangguan Sichen, and now the situation has become almost a satire of Shangguan Feihong’s previous actions, right?

If Shangguan Feihong were still alive, she would definitely regret her choices and be angry at her previous foolish behavior.

”You two with just this level of skill?” Shangguan Sichen said disdainfully.

The expressions on Shangguan Xuanjie and Shangguan Wenchuan’s faces instantly became particularly ugly, as if this statement belittled them to nothing.

”Grandfather, isn’t Su Changfeng just valued by Mu Tian, with no other outstanding qualities?” Shangguan Xuanjie said defiantly.

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Sichen laughed, amused by Shangguan Xuanjie’s words. He hadn’t expected him to say something like that.

”Don’t you find it particularly ridiculous to say something like that? Just valued by Mu Tian? Do you understand what being valued by Mu Tian means?” Shangguan Sichen said with disdain.

”But how do you know that Su Changfeng can ensure the Shangguan Family steps into another level? Currently, the whole situation is just unknown,” Shangguan Xuanjie said unwillingly.

Previously, Shangguan Xuanjie could still use Ye Nianhai to threaten Su Changfeng, but now that Ye Nianhai had been taken by Shangguan Sichen, he no longer had any leverage to threaten Su Changfeng, leaving Shangguan Xuanjie to fight desperately for his last chance.

And upon hearing this, Shangguan Sichen stood up and approached Shangguan Xuanjie.

The intense pressure directly hitting him made it difficult for Shangguan Xuanjie to breathe; merely standing in front of Shangguan Sichen made him feel short of breath.

”And what about you? Everything about Su Changfeng is unknown, do you have even a bit of capital? Compared to Su Changfeng, you’re simply a waste,” Shangguan Sichen said coldly.

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Xuanjie’s fist instantly clenched tightly, turning slightly pale. The past Su Changfeng was just a dog in front of him, but now the situation has changed, and Su Changfeng has become the one with the highest status in his grandfather’s heart, a transformation Shangguan Xuanjie could not accept.

”As long as Grandpa is willing to give me a chance, I can prove my ability,” Shangguan Xuanjie said through clenched teeth.

”You want a chance, right? Fine, I’ll give you one, but if Su Changfeng kills you, I’ll just turn a blind eye as if this never happened. If you want to go to M Country, I won’t stop you, but let me say again, once you step off this island, your life and death have nothing to do with the Shangguan Family,” Shangguan Sichen said.

Shangguan Xuanjie didn’t expect Shangguan Sichen to be so cold-blooded, but now that things had come to this, Shangguan Xuanjie had no other choice.

If he didn’t seize the opportunity now, the whole Shangguan Family would surely be taken over by Su Changfeng, a scenario Shangguan Xuanjie definitely didn’t want to see!

”Fine!” Shangguan Xuanjie said through gritted teeth.

”And what about you?” Shangguan Sichen turned to stare at Shangguan Wenchuan.

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Wenchuan’s eyelids twitched wildly. He knew exactly what kind of person Shangguan Sichen was. Once he said something, he would never go back on his word, meaning if he and Shangguan Xuanjie were caught by Su Changfeng, Shangguan Sichen would undoubtedly ignore them.

And considering Su Changfeng’s current strength, Shangguan Wenchuan didn’t have the absolute confidence to pose a threat to him. Leaving this island would mean jumping into a pit of fire.

Furthermore, under the current circumstances, Su Changfeng and Shangguan Xuanjie were like the snipe and the clam, so why not be the fisherman who would ultimately benefit?

When Su Changfeng and Shangguan Xuanjie are both battered and exhausted, he would step in to resolve them. This was undoubtedly a better choice.

”I intend to stay here to manage the affairs, big and small, within our family, Grandpa,” Shangguan Wenchuan said.

Shangguan Xuanjie looked at Shangguan Wenchuan in astonishment. Before coming to see Shangguan Sichen, they had agreed to deal with Su Changfeng together, but now Shangguan Wenchuan had changed his mind.

”Shangguan Wenchuan, you are truly...”

Before Shangguan Xuanjie could finish, Shangguan Wenchuan interrupted, ”Brother, someone still needs to share some of Grandpa’s responsibilities. You’re focusing on proving yourself, but I don’t need to prove anything.”

Hearing this, Shangguan Xuanjie gritted his teeth. What Shangguan Wenchuan said was so laughable, pretending to be considerate of the family at such a time.

”Don’t come to regret this,” Shangguan Xuanjie said before turning and leaving the study.

Respectfully, Shangguan Wenchuan bowed to Shangguan Sichen and said, ”I’ll get busy then, Grandpa.”

Shangguan Sichen nodded, saying nothing. He could easily see through Shangguan Wenchuan’s little schemes.

Shangguan Wenchuan had many clever tricks, and they would bring him benefits in certain situations. Unfortunately, these tricks were not enough to do great things, implying that Shangguan Wenchuan’s scope was not large, and he wouldn’t be able to truly stand on his own.

”The more I look at Shangguan Xuanjie and Shangguan Wenchuan, the more I realize how outstanding Su Changfeng is. It truly is a case of contrast revealing the deficiencies,” Shangguan Sichen said with a face full of reflection after Shangguan Xuanjie and Shangguan Wenchuan left.
